''An Ancient African Village Trick" is a story of a little boy name Santo, whose mum sent her child around the village in search of something called ''Omu Nwa Ri." Santo has no knowledge about this item which, apparently, only the mums in the village knows. Santo found his friends looking for the same thing --- “Omu Nwa Ri’’. Finally, Santo and his friend decide to visit Elder Mazi -- the oldest and wisest man in the village. Elder Mazi told Santo and his friends what the use of the phrase "Omu Nwa Ri" really means. This book helps us learn about African community unity and presents a unique insight into the wisdom of an African style of parenting.
